Komenského náměstí Primary School

The primary school building on Komenského náměstí was built in 1905, when the new square was only just taking shape. The square was named after John Amos Comenius (Jan Amos Komenský), the "teacher of nations". His larger-than-life bronze statue on the square was created in 1931 by the academic sculptor Josef Axmann.

The square was once closed off by a synagogue built in 1909–1910 to a design by the Viennese architect Jakob Gartner. The Nazis demolished it in 1942, and the House of Culture (Dům kultury) stands on its site today. A model of the synagogue on the square recalls it.

The building is part of the Kroměříž urban heritage reserve.
